I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! This month in the Reading Center we will do our best to fit in several great Christmas Stories in a short amount of time! There are so many wonderful stories to choose from this time of year and I’m looking forward to sharing them with the students.
Our fifth graders will focus on author Patricia Polacco. She is an amazing author, whose books are filled with wonderful messages such as love of faith, family and multicultural appreciation. We will read two of her books entitled Christmas Tapestry and An Orange for Frankie. Our students in grades 1-4 will be learning about Jan Brett and enjoying her stories such as The Wild Christmas Reindeer and Christmas Trolls. We will discuss the characters in these stories and Jan Brett’s love of animals and art! Kindergarten and PreK classes will listen to stories like A Christmas Wish For Corduroy, Clifford’s Christmas and Franklin’s Nutcracker. I want to focus on famous story books characters with these students.
Please continue to talk to your children about what they are reading. They will enjoy telling you all about it! Also, please remind your children to return books to the library in a timely manner. Have a wonderful December!
